Again

Judges 13
1 Again the Israelites did evil in the LORD’s sight, so the LORD handed them over to the Philistines, who oppressed them for forty years.

“Again.” Sigh. Yeah, this is truly a depressing section of Scripture to read. But it is important for me to remember that the consequences of disobedience are absolute. Why do we think that our “little sins” don’t matter? Why do we rationalize? Does it really make us feel better? Maybe temporarily, but judgment is coming; and the consequences for sin are coming. We need to abandon this futile way of thinking and living, and cling to our Courageous Hero Jesus. Gonna hear about Him in tomorrow’s sermon at VCC. I need a Hero to see me through the tough times ahead. I need Jesus. Praise God that Jesus is here!
